The plasma pistol (GRA) is an energy weapon in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.
Contents
Background[edit | edit source]
This plasma pistol has five tributary energy arcs connected to a central cathode, and the cathode functions as a point of focus, or the barrel. The energy is projected forward and forms a plasma pinch; though rather slow, the pinch carries high levels of both thermal and kinetic energy.
Characteristics[edit | edit source]
This weapon is a powerful energy-based pistol, firing superheated bolts of green plasma able to punch through most creatures and low to medium-level types of armor with ease.
Compared to the standard plasma pistol, the GRA variant shares the same stats and textures.[1] However this variant was specially designed by the Gun Runners to accept modifications, which the standard plasma pistol cannot. This weapon is an improved holdout weapon.
Durability[edit | edit source]
The plasma pistol (GRA) can fire a total of about 745 times using standard cells, the equivalent of 47 reloads, or 35 reloads when modified with the recycler, from full condition before breaking.
